I love the things I find inside patterns...here's a letter from Cindy asking her Mom to sew some shifts for her. It's undated, but she included $4.00 to cover the making of 3 shifts, fabric, notions and shipping! I hope she got nice decals for the crib.

The next treasure is Glamour Magazine from April, 1943. There are lots of suits ( don't miss the Claire McCardell's shown in blue) and lot's of nifty details on the dresses. Have fun!

COVER: The flattering fedora-the hat you'll see on nine heads out of ten this Spring. Because it's a spruce hat for a spruce hairdo, and it makes the simplest suit more exciting. The smartest ones are doll-size, as this of white pique with a green hand. $5, Best. Gloves by Wear-Right. Make-up and lipstick are Lentheric's "Wonderful." Photograph by Lemus.

Nice to Meet You

Welcome! I have this blog to share the treasures I find related to vintage sewing, and vintage fashion with occasional detours into whatever crosses my path. Everything I post is from some actual item I found. If you'd like to buy something you see contact me.
I sell sewing patterns for a living, you'll see the link below. Come on by!
